TBD at Tampa Bay Rays: ALCS (Home Game 3, If Necessary)

If the best-of-seven American League Championship Series requires a sixth contest after the middle games, the Tampa Bay Rays return home to Tropicana Field to stage home game three. The conditional late-series matchup brings high-leverage elimination baseball back to St. Petersburg, where manager Kevin Cash manages short rest bullpens, pinch-hit strategy, and critical defensive alignments in pursuit of the final outs needed to secure the league title.
